Kissing Stone

Souvenir from The Eastern Shore

I don't travel with a still camera. Prefer as souvenirs those fruits of the creative mind - always inspired by the magic that traveling opens.

Nor do I purchase souvenirs for my own consumption.

Rather, I find a stone to bring back to add to the collection.

The game is played like this: The moment I remember to bring back a stone is the moment I look for it and I must choose the first stone I see once I look.

This stone is from a trip to the Eastern Shore.

I traveled with someone I admire and respect and with whom I thought it might be possible to pursue a relationship.

We kissed.

This stone was collected in the moments after the kiss.

It is broken.
